LEARN MORE ABOUT THE PORSCHE 911 GT2: http://www.edmunds.com/insidel... three days straight, we tried to beat the daylights out of the 2008 Porsche 911 GT2. In the end, this Guards Red missile shrugged off the experience and beat the tar out of us instead. All we had to show for our efforts were a bruised right palm, a $1,300 receipt for replacement rear tires and a permanent smile.While selflessly obliging the lens-carrying members of our staff who asked if it'd be possible to get the 530-horsepower, rear-wheel-drive GT2 to do something interesting for the camera, we kicked this car's butt until we literally grew tired of the effort. And yet the 2008 Porsche 911 GT effectively replied, "Is that all you've got? Give me some more tires and I'm good to go."And go it does.

The GT-R has lost enough track compares vs the GT2 which allows the question in what "stock" factory outfit the 7:29min was driven..Vairano track ItalyGT2 1:15.528minGT-R 1:17.600mindriven same day by Alain Prost 4time F1 worldchampionBedford Autodrom UKGT2 1:23.50minGT-R 1:23.60minEvo magazine UKAutclub speedway (USA)GT2 50.94minGT-R 51.85minRoad and Track USA

That is only true when you are trying to slow the car down at a lower rate than the engine can. If you are trying to get the car to a stop as soon as possible then the engine is working against the brakes.

Actually, they do not hold in the clutch for optimum braking. taking your foot off the gas but not holding in the clutch is called engine breaking and it slows the car down as well. Combining this with standard breaking allows the car to come to a stop much faster. You obviously have to push in the clutch before you come to a complete stop, though.
